We used to joke that "to be relaxed in northern Europe is to know that the trains will run, the offices will be open, etc., and to be relaxed in southern Europe is to know that while the trains may not run, the offices may not be open, etc., life will be good anyways."

Sadly probably not visible tonight in mid-Michigan due to clouds. However, it should still be visible for a couple weeks (comets can change in brightness suddenly and without warning).

This is over-and-over again my experience. My imposter syndrome tells me that I (and my students) must just write bad Python code, but our C/C++/Fortran ports just run 100+ times faster, every time.

Why put obviously incompetent people in charge of big, important things? Because they know that under normal circumstances, they could never have reached such positions of power. This makes them loyal to whoever put them there.
